Had the same problem on mine.

I used to run with a smaller plate (forgot to take it off after a track day officer) and keep a real one in the boot to change on the spot.

Might work as long as you don't take the piss with the size.

Went over to a stick-on but just for EU use...but I'm not sure if they're UK legal either.

I'm sure I read somewhere (Steve Heath bible?) that stick ons aren't legal, as number plates have to be vertical.

I think also they have to be reflective and getting reflective stick on ones is difficult. In reality I don't think any of the BiB's will care so long as it's a standard font in a legal or at least sensible size.

Out of interest Paul, did the officer just tell you to change it or did you get fined/points?

no fines ,no points it was a notice of warning no action taken
